The  object  of  the  author  in  publishing  this  little  volume,  is  to  enable 
all  classes  of  citizens  to  acquire  an  elementary  and  practical  knowledge 
of  the  spoken  language  of  the  Cantonese  dialect. 

This  is  the  dialect  most  generally  understood  by  all  classes  of  Chinese 
immigrants  on  the  Pacific  coast  and  elsewhere,  as  nearly  all  such  immi- 
grants are  from  the  Canton  district  ；  the  comparatively  few  who  come 
from  other  districts  soon  become,  through  a  necessary  and  continual  in- 
tercourse with  the  Cantonese,  familiarized,  with  the  accent  and  pronunci- 
ation of  the  latter.  So  that  a  man  well  versed  in  this  dialect  may  be 
readily  understood  by  all  the  Chinese  ；  as  the  Chinese  almost  without  ex- 
ception read  their  language,  the  indication  of  the  proper  sentence  will 
readily  be  understood  by  them. 

It  will  also  be  found  sufficient  in  communicating  with  the  merchants 
and  educated  classes  of  Japan,  as  they  understand  the  Chinese  characters. 

The  author  has  been  induced  to  undertake  this  publication  by  what 
seemed  to  him  a  daily  increasing  necessity,  consequent  upon  the  extended 
craployraent  of  Chinese,  and  the  now  established  regular  line  of  commu- 
nication with  China  and  Japan. 

The  work  is  adapted  to  practical  use  in  business  and  social  life,  and 
as  such  is  respectfully  submitted  to  the  public.

(') The  acute  denotes  the  rising  inflection. 
(、) The  grave  denotes  the  falling  inflection. 

Each  Chinese  character  corresponds  to  tbe  Chinese  word  above  it,  iu 
English  letters. 
a  as  in  pan. 
act  as  in  fawn, 
e  as  in  they,

S3  a  buzzing*  sound.

ngo  a  protracted  full  nasal  sound  of  no. 

h  in  the  words  shap,  shat,  sheung,  etc.,  is  soft. 

Tuk  Vekb.  ―  Moods  and  tenses,  as  such,  are  quite  unknown  to  the 
Chinese.  No  distinction  is  made  between  active  and  passive  verbs  ；  nor 
are  the  persons  or  numbers  noticed  at  all  by  them.  The  context  and  the 
circumstances  under  、、- hidi  any  thing  is  said  are  the  chief  guides  to  the 
exact  sense  of  any  passage.  Time  and  mode  are  very  clearly  shown  by 
the  meaning  of  the  whole  sentence,  or  by  the  conditions  under  which  it 
has  been  uttered. 

" To- morrow  1  shall  go  "  would  bo  expressed  in  Chinese  by  '•  to-mor- 
row I  go  ；"  "  yesterday  1  came  ，，  would  be  expressed  by  "  yesterday  I 

come/-

THIS  INSTITUTE  IS  DESIGNED  TO  PREPARE  BOYS  AND  MEN 

For  Business  Pursuits, 

And  to  impart  a  thorough 

Commercial  Education. 

It  is  conducted  upon  actual  business  principles.  The  student,  upon  entering 
the  College, 

Is  furnished  with  a  Capital  in  Cash  and  Merchandise, 

Rents  a  place  of  business,  opens  an  account  with  the  bank,  insures  his  goods 
with  the  insurance  office  of  the  College,  and  enters  upon  the  arena  of  business. 
He 

Commences  Speculation, 

Carrying  out  all  the  details  of  trade ― buying  and  selling  goods,  depositing  in 
and  checking  from  the  bank,  making  and  negotiating  notes,  drafts,  bills  of 
exchange,  etc., recording  the  transactions  and  keeping  the  books  in  a  regular 
and  scientific  manner.  From  this  he  advances  to  other  capacities,  until  he 
finally  takes  his  position  in  the 

Union  Business  College  Bank, 

A  regularly  established  institution,  complete  in  all  its  appointments,  and 
having  a  circulation  of 

One  Million  in  College  Currency. 

This  course  saves  frotn  four  to  six  weeks'  time  in  copying  useless  manuscripts. 

PENMANSHIP. 

Prof.  F.  SEREGNI,  our  instructor  in  Penmanship,  is  well  known  to  be  a 
thorough  and  systematic  teacher  ；  and  no  College  at  present  on  this  coast, 
advertising  to  teach  Penmanship,  has  ever  taught  the  same  by  a  regular  plan, 
and  we  unhesitatingly  declare,  that  for  practical  and  thorough  instruction  in 
this  branch,  we  challenge  competition. 

TELEGRAPHING. 

The  large  and  increasing  demand  for  good  Telegraph  Operators  has  in- 
duced us  to  organize  a  separate  department  for  thorough  instructions  in  this 
branch,  and  we  are  now  enabled  to  present  advantages  in  this  line  equal  to 
any  that  can  be  offered  on  the  continent. 

There  is  no  vacation,  and  students  can  enter  upon  any  businoss  clay  during 
the  year.  The  public  are  invited  to  call  and  examine  the  various  departments. 
Sessions  day  and  evening.
